I am the first to admit I’m not adventurous when it comes to the color I use in my home. Every wall is white (apart from my entryway – which got the special treatment with Cole & Son wallpaper). It’s my decor I like to get playful with, and I always thought that because I cover every surface in my home with books, magazines, crockery, vases, candles – you name it – the walls should remain a plain backdrop.
But. The moody shades that have been on the rise in the color trends of this year have me reconsidering – and a deep purply red has been living in my brain rent-free since the spring. Then, when I saw that Shea McGee, queen of the neutral color scheme, had revealed her latest project and totally color-drenched a room in the exact paint color I’d been considering all year, I knew it was time to start ordering samples.
